@TheHanzoShinobi Really, much prefer vmware. Just because it's free and opensource?

For some reason, my VMWare setup turns gray. I can't click/do anything.

I could install it, but I had to clean install my PC. I searched for so many solutions on Google, but nobody seems to have the correct solution for me. Running as administrator doesn't change anything. Also, virtualization is enabled in my computer's BIO. Does somebody have a solution for me? I'd be very very thankful.

I agree with Justic3h. You should not say this show is for hackers. Do you even know what a hacker is? I used to hack and phreak in the 80's before we has IBM PC's. used to hack and phreak Ma Bell, make free calls local and LD, get free calls from pay phones, use 3rd party calling before it was offered as a paid for feature. Got the info right off their unprotected unix servers with an acoustic modem. Ha! I want you to give some good hacking info like that, if not stop using the term. VBox 4 ME

VirtualBox is free and open source VM Ware Player is NOT open source VM Ware Player is free, but VM Ware it's self is not free ... VirtualBox is the best for me.

[TheHanzoShinobi]

VirtualBox without a doubt!

Virtual Box is the more mature and complete of the comparison. The ability to run more than one guest Os, appeals to me because one can use different OSes without having to pause and restart. It does however depend on the amount of RAM your machine possesses to get the best performance that is close to seamless.
